Shoulder
Some people are said to "carry the weight of the world on their shoulders." It's no wonder that sometimes our shoulders suffer.
We all depend heavily on our shoulders to control where we move our arms in order to use our hands. There is a fine balance between mobility and stability in the shoulder that allows us to have freedom of movement. This balance can be impacted by injury and common shoulder problems.
Most shoulder problems are caused by repeated overhead motions for a long period of time. Weekend athletes and do-it-yourselfers are especially vulnerable to overuse problems in the shoulder. The leading causes of shoulder pain are bursitis, tendonitis and an irritated rotator cuff.
At University Orthopaedic Surgeons, our team has expertise in treatment of shoulder problems, such as injury to the rotator cuff, torn labrum, dislocations and fractures.
